LITTLE WOMEN

Of course, Little Women hasn't had to prove itself a masterpiece for one hundred years. However, with the recent movie remake there's new interest. Fortunately, Barbara Caruso's rendering is wonderful. She skillfully combines the voices of a fairly large cast. Just as splendidly, she presents the text in an old-fashioned style, tone and pronunciation befitting the setting of the story. The four sisters, though each unique, must be a challenge even for several voices, but Caruso's solo voice always enthralls. The performance is worthwhile no matter what previous experience with Little Women the listener has. S.G.B. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: JAN 96]
